And, more particularly:

"(2)  A school board has all the rights and duties of an occupier in
respect of its school sites as defined in the Education Act.  R.S.O.
1990, c. T.21, s. 1 (2)."

and,

"2.  (1)  Every person who is not acting under a right or authority
conferred by law and who,

(a)   without the express permission of the occupier, the proof of
which rests on the defendant,

(i)   enters on premises when entry is prohibited under this Act, or

(ii)   engages in an activity on premises when the activity is
prohibited under this Act; or

(b)   does not leave the premises immediately after he or she is
directed to do so by the occupier of the premises or a person
authorized by the occupier,

is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not
more than $2,000.  R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21, s. 2 (1)."
